Real Madrid were the undisputed behemoths of the Champions League from 2014-18 ,winning four out of the five editions going on an unprecedented run. A large part of that squad still forms a cornerstone of the current setup under Carlo Ancelotti. The royal midfield, Benzema, and Carvajal etc. are still playing at the highest level, but the pertinent question is for how long?
Thankfully we possess some of the most talented young players around the globe who will give Real Madrid fans hope for a trophy laden future. Some of them have become an integral part of the starting XI while others are giving glimpses of their skills time and again. Here are my five picks among the current squad who will bring Champions League glory to the Bernabeu in the near future.
Thibaut Courtois
Well, Courtois may not be as young as the other players in my list considering the fact that he was the opposition goalkeeper in the 2014 final . However he has transformed himself into one of the finest goalkeepers of this generation. He has been performing at an exceptionally high level since a disastrous debut season for Real Madrid. He has made it a habit of making atleast one match defining save a game. He has been instrumental in the 2 Supercopa wins and the 2019-20 LaLiga title. All that is missing is a Champions League medal.
